Kimbel Mechanical Systems installs plumbing, HVAC
and electrical systems in large housing projects, including
subdivisions, apartment complexes and military housing. The
company needs people who want to earn a good living in the
skilled trades. Many team members earn six-figure annual
incomes.
You can begin a career at Kimbel Mechanical right out of
school. That’s what Kaedon Baumann did when he started as
an apprentice plumber.
“I learned about Kimbel when someone from the company
visited my high school,” he explains. “I thought about
going to college, but taking on a lot of debt and not being
guaranteed a job concerned me. Kimbel showed me a path
where I could learn a career and be guaranteed a good job.”

It takes four years to complete an apprenticeship, which
involves on-the-job training and taking evening classes part-
time. Kimbel Mechanical has its own in-house, state-certified
plumbing apprentice program.
“I knew nothing about plumbing when I started, Baumann
says. “It takes patience, and you need to be willing to work
and learn.” He recently passed a test to earn his journeyman
license. Now he can work on his own, supervise new
apprentices and earn more money.
“I have a nice truck I bought myself, and I own a house,”
Baumann says. “This career means I’m able to live
comfortably and can be debt free.” He plans to stay with the
company, earn his master plumber’s license and become a
superintendent.
